I love the above hat. I mainly like the earflaps and the cute little pattern. Does anyone have any other patterns that are similar? but maybe with out the ribbing?

There are several versions of this hat.

This one doesn't seem to have the ribbing because the front edge is curling.

This one seems to have garter stitch earflaps.
